As a website writer for Retro Gaming News, I am always loading up emulators to test-play the games for reviews, grabbing screen shots etc.. An all-in-one solution is definitely something I will use in the future, helping me create website posts with higher efficiency. There is another multi-format emulator called Bizhawk which also supports many machine cores, the main difference between Bizhawk and Retro Virtual Machine is the latter has more customisation options giving you a better GUI emulation experience. BizHawk supports more videogame cores, so it’s also worth taking a look at too.
